Summary
Welcome to 'Can't Believe I Made It,' where we explore the science of everyday activities and their impact on our health. Today, we're tackling a commonly held belief that might change how you view one of the most accessible forms of exercise: walking.
In a recent episode of the Ed Mylett Show, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon expressed a view that walking should not be considered exercise but rather an activity of daily living, labeling it as the "lowest possible standard." Such statements can be misleading and may even be seen as ableist, disregarding the significant health benefits and accessibility of walking as a form of exercise.
Here at 'Can't Believe I Made It,' we believe it's crucial to challenge such narratives. Not everyone has the ability or resources to engage in high-intensity workouts. For many, especially those with health conditions, injuries, disabilities, or maybe even those who don’t have access to education or resources, walking is not only achievable but essential for maintaining health. It's inclusive, it's beneficial, and yes, it's absolutely exercise.
Research supports this inclusive approach. A comprehensive study on daily step counts reveals that even moderate increases in walking can substantially improve health outcomes. This counters the notion that exercise must be intense to be beneficial. It highlights the importance of every step and shows that walking can significantly reduce the risk of mortality.
So, as we discuss this topic, let's remember the importance of inclusivity in health and fitness. Walking is exercise, and for many, it's a vital part of staying healthy. Join us as we delve deeper into why walking deserves more respect in the fitness world and how embracing a broader view of exercise can help foster a healthier, more inclusive community.
Stay tuned, and let's take this journey together, step by step
